Switched my commute to a 20 mile each way route, had to do it sooner or later if I wanna be able to hold my own when I do the BTC in June...but DANG it kicked my butt...some slack jaw on an electric motor assisted mountain bike passed me on about mile 17 or 18 and it flat out pissed me off. I tried to catch back up, but he was able to sustain like 18-20 MPH (must have been, cuz I was doing 16-18 up hill and he was pulling away) Unfortunantly his battery never gave out and I couldn't catch him. I hope I see him again on flatter ground cuz I'll run his battery ragid and then pull away :-)

Nice morning though, weather just starting to turn, almost warm enough to loose the tights but still layering in the morning.
